Ion shock acceleration by large amplitude slow ion acoustic double layers in laser-produced plasmas

Ion shock acceleration by large amplitude slow ion acoustic double layers in laser-produced plasmas

A kinetic model for the shock acceleration of ions in laser-produced plasmas is developed. A fraction of the warm ions are accelerated by the large amplitude monotonic potential of the shock created due the plasma compression and electron heating by the laser. The kinetic model for the monotonic shock is …
